Scorpiurus muricatus: Sow the seeds directly in the ground after the danger of frost has passed. The soil should be well-draining and in a sunny location. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate, which should occur within 7-10 days.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
